Which will easily cost the same as the Twizy if it gets here, and it uses a lead acid battery. You of all people know the huge difference between Chinese home market prices and what we pay here for most Chinese product. .

It's the art of government, appearing to make everything better while not actually achieving anything worthwhile. .

It's even worse, Europe got in first but completely failed to develop e-bikes: 1922: Heinzmann launched their first hub motor, Dutch Philips also prototyped one that year and failed to bring it to market. It took Heinzmann almost a century to bring out a second version in the third...

Us of course, then give them to third world countries as part of our aid budget. BAE survive, those countries get the sophisticated planes they long for and it costs us no more than our present budget. So everybody wins! ;) .

But the buyer holds the purse strings. Our aircraft carriers won't be doing anything anyway, other than poodle duties for the Americans. And a useless Eurofighter version will follow in the proud tradition of the totally useless Harrier and Tornado. .

We've already got the equivalent, the excellent Renault Twizy, and that can carry a tandem passenger or extra luggage for short trips:

Since when does the chauffeur decide what car to buy? .

Perhaps the EU can take a cue from Brexit and present Catalonia with a large bill. They will after all be leaving the EU if they leave Spain, so a multi-billions bill might cool their ardour. .

Hang on for the forthcoming sea version of the Eurofighter instead of buying the ludicrously expensive Lockheed Martin F35 from the USA, which is likely to be very late anyway. Our aircraft carrriers are not going to be doing anything meanwhile. .

:D. I was born in Soho! .

We are on page 1066 discussing England's future relationship with France among others. A portent perhaps? .

That was then, this is now, and it's only now that counts. Someones longed for past was often another's misery. .

Yes, the message is, never try to go back, the past is never what we think it was. .

I wish for independence every time I find one of our laws inconvenient. :( That's about all such a wish means, we don't like the status quo. .

And I not only agree, I've said as much above. So once again, they don't need A or B, they can already persuade and negotiate for independence in the democratic Spanish parliament. If that doesn't succeed, that's the price of democracy which like all of us, we have to accept. The only...

This is nonsense, the French now have a taste for cheddar cheese and some of our companies now have a large market for it there. As this link shows, as far back as 2012 the market was developing rapidly. .

That's just being silly, Catalonia is a de facto part of Spain, regardless of my views. They accepted that in 1978 and ever since have accepted that daily by their co-operation. For example obeying Spanish laws, paying Spanish national taxes, using Spanish passports, travelling in and out of...

Of course not, they are two countries, Jamaica was never in the UK. Catalonia is part of the one country of Spain. I really hope that at last you realise how you are confusing two entirely different issues. .

You're persistently missing the point that there is only one form of democracy. That operates as the method of governance in a country, on a smaller scale as the method of governance of a region like a county, and then right down to city, town and parish levels. Voting is within each for each...
